Re: Building a Blazer - vtblazer's Way
Nice addition to the house, it really fits with pitch matching the house. Would make a nice snowboard hill...enjoy your new space.Almost back to the build?

Have a bench I want to build and still have lots of 'arranging' to do but yeah...I'm considering bringing the blazer home if not today, very soon. Priced out the roll up doors last week too...  Blazer update: Received the 4spd tilt column this week.

Re: Building a Blazer - vtblazer's Way
The auto shifter you have (3-speed) only needs the shift plate replaced, give Summit a call and they can send it out, it was like $15, the shifter and everything else is the same, the pattern is on the plate, so don't sell it!!

Re: Building a Blazer - vtblazer's Way
Things are coming along nicely.
Looks like you'll have to hire an electrician next.

Re: Building a Blazer - vtblazer's Way
Okay, I'll end this hi-jacking interim with a few "finished for now" pics.
Siding, insulation & sheet-rock are being scheduled for next years money explosion event. (having two exterior walls STILL not insulated in the kitchen, I'm thinking I've done good to get this far. ) ...I think I need a bigger garage.

All right...looks like you're pretty much moved in.
Let the building (Blazer) begin!

Re: Building a Blazer - vtblazer's Way
That miniature rollup door is SO cute!
Could that dark sillouette in the background possibly be the wife slowly shaking her head in disbelief that you're photographing a garage to post on the Interweb?? LOL.

How'd ya know? May not so much disbelief cause she's used to but maybe she was thinking more along the lines of...MEN!  Yeah 'cute' for sure but being able to roll the engine hoist & the engine that's currently on a stand through it, is worth any & all ribbing I'll ever get about it. |

Re: Building a Blazer - vtblazer's Way
And here I thought the mini roll up door was your access to the Bat Cave. Guess I was wrong.
